Medline was obliquely mentioned -- at least if you knew what to look for 
-- in this story that ran in today's NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/19/business/19physicians.html?_r=2&emc=tnt&tntemail0=y

The story is actually about the nonmainstream physicians' group, 
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. The reason Medline is 
discussed (sort of) is that this association's journals have been 
declined for indexing by NLM twice. However, the reference is to "the 
national database of medical reports that the library operates."

Music is neither old nor modern: it is either good or bad music, and the date at which it was written has no significance whatever. (Peter Warlock - The Sackbut - 1926)
